Frustration

Why are relationships so hard? Why can’t it get easier the longer your together? It seems like everyone I know is struggling with the same issue. They just cannot get along with the person that they are with. I am included in this. It seems like the older you get and the longer you have been together, the more things bug you about the other person. Why is that? You have a common bond of loving each other, so why can’t that be enough? Sometimes I wish the world would stop at the happiest moment in your relationship, and then everything from there on would be like that feeling. I am one of those people who cannot handle arguing or fighting and I try to avoid if at all possible. So why do relationships start to make you feel like this is all that it consists of- constant bickering, anger towards the other person, frustration, feeling like your all alone in the relationship. I want it to be easy. I want to feel like we are dating and feel like it is something new all of the time. Is there a way to get back to that?

Unfortunately no my dear and you know this already. Once both parties have moved in together the show is over and both gigs are up. We trick you and you trick us, that's just how it is these days :-) Do you like that?

I have to agree with Casey. When we are just dating we put on our best front, but once we are hooked and reeled in we can be ourselves. When you commit to someone whether it is marriage, or a live-in relationship, everything changes. We become comfortable and become ourselves. Unfortunately bickering is part of a relationship. Very few people live in a state of bliss (and they are probably on drugs) because that is just not reality. Relationships are hard work and there is no getting around it.
